Place beef, fat side up, in large shallow roasting pan placed on a cooking rack. Season meat to your liking. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Roast beef uncovered 15 minutes. Reduce oven temp to 350 degrees. The average cooking time is 15-20 min. per pound. Use a meat thermometer to determine when your roast is done to your liking. Check temperature of the meat by placing the thermometer in the center of the meat between the bones.
